The 2014 World Conference on Information Systems and Technologies
(WorldCIST'14: http://www.aisti.eu/worldcist14) is a global forum for
researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the most recent
innovations, trends, results, experiences and concerns in the several
perspectives of Information Systems and Technologies.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your papers to WorldCISTI'14. All
submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance
and clarity.

 
THEMES

Submitted papers should be related with one or more of the main themes proposed
for the Conference:

A) Information and Knowledge Management (IKM);

B) Organizational Models and Information Systems (OMIS);

C) Intelligent and Decision Support Systems (IDSS);

D) Software Systems, Architectures, Applications and Tools (SSAAT);

E) Computer Networks, Mobility and Pervasive Systems (CNMPS);

F) Human-Computer Interaction (HCI);

G) Health Informatics (HIS);

H) Information Technologies in Education (ITE).


TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS AND DECISIONS

Four types of papers can be submitted:

Full paper: Finished or consolidated R&D works, to be included in one of the
Conference themes. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit.

Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to
discussion. These papers are assigned a 7-page limit.

Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, open to discussion. These papers
are assigned to a 4-page limit.

Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R & D,
tools, etc., focused on some topics of the conference. These papers are assigned
to a 4-page limit.

Submitted papers must comply with the format of Advances in Intelligent Systems
and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website or
download a DOC example) be written in English, must not have been published
before, not be under review for any other conference or publication and not
include any information leading to the authors? identification. Therefore, the
authors? names, affiliations and bibliographic references should not be included
in the version for evaluation by the Program Committee. This information should
only be included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and
also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Consent to
Publication form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference
management system.

All papers will be subjected to a ?double-blind review? by at least two members
of the Program Committee.

Based on Program Committee evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by
the Conference Chairs. In the later case, it can be accepted as the type
originally submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers can be accepted as
short papers or poster papers only. Similarly, short papers can be accepted as
poster papers only. In these cases, the authors will be allowed to maintain the
original number of pages in the camera-ready version.

The authors of accepted poster papers must also build and print a poster to be
exhibited during the Conference. This poster must follow an A1 or A2 vertical
format. The Conference includes Work Sessions where these posters are presented
and orally discussed, with a 5 minute limit per poster.

The authors of accepted full papers will have 15 minutes to present their work
in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes of discussion will follow
each presentation. The authors of accepted short papers and company papers will
have 11 minutes to present their work in a Conference Work Session;
approximately 4 minutes of discussion will follow each presentation.
